Who does the purchasing or ordering of the items in your shops?  Is is
all purchased wholesale or is any done on consignment?  How open are
you, generally, to selling new products?  How do you find them?

Sorry if these sound incredibly basic, but this is kind of new for me.
For the last couple years I've been working in a VERY small museum,
doing conservation work, but I think I have a product that will sell
(it's selling great at craft shows and a couple funky downtown stores in
Boston), and I think that it would do well in museum shops.  I want to
know the best way to approach whoever is in charge of the stores.

Thanks!
